Fima "kills" in San Francisco
Fima joined the San Francisco Symphony and its music director, Michael Tilson Thomas, last week for five concerts as part of “Dawn to Twilight,” the symphony's three week festival exploring the music of Franz Schubert and Alban Berg. Joshua Kosman of the San Francisco Chronicle called Fima's performance of the Berg Piano Sonata “a colorful and muscular rendition.” Critic Mark Rudio on the web site Examiner.com took it a step further, proclaiming "Thank you Yefim—that was an experience I am never going to forget. You killed it. Seriously."
Next up, Fima joins the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and Marin Alsop on June 11, 12 and 14 for performances of Rachmaninoff’s Concerto No. 3.

Yefim Bronfman’s new Salonen CD is released on DG
Since playing its world premiere with the New York Philharmonic in February 2007, Yefim Bronfman has often performed Esa-Pekka Salonen’s Piano Concerto with the composer conducting. A year ago in Los Angeles, Salonen conducted Bronfman in the work with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and Deutsche Grammophon recorded it live, filling out the disc with two other piano pieces by Salonen, Helix and Dichotomie (a solo work). The recording, scheduled for U.S. release in April, is a valedictory testament to Salonen’s long and successful tenure as the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s music director, and a fitting document of the close 20-year friendship between the pianist and the composer/conductor.
